There was a problem with seaters. They were optional and boys and girls as the day progrrssed, commonly changed their minds about wearing them. This is why the sweater was thre most commonly misplaced item. Often it was chilly in the morning and if the sun came out, which was not always the case, much warmer in the afternoon. This meant that by the end of the day there was not uncommonly forgotten grey sweaters left in different spots around the school. And of course becaise of the uniform they all looked alike. Here the boys were normally the culprits. Boys being boys, they normally did not begin thinking bout their sweaters until the next morning when a warm sweater felt good. Fortunately the schools required mums to dew lavels on every item brought to school. Thus sweaters and boys were usually reunited. The greatest problem was boys leaving their sweaters outside, especially if it rained. At some schools boys developed the practice of using the arms of the sweaters to tie them around their wausts.
